That a dandy deer right there!!!My 9 year old sons first buck. View attachment 1117171
Not his first deer by any means. He's killed a bunch over the past few years including a 135" buck last season with his .243. But he has been working his TAIL off over the past year to be able to pull 40# and really wanted to get his first bow kill.
After a series of misses or non-lethal shots, he was getting very down and very frustrated. But I'm super proud of this boy. He kept at it and listened to me when I promised that he was a good hunter and that he'd get one soon.
She's not an old nag. But he zipped an arrow through her, found her all by himself and dragged her out of the woods all by himself.
Proud of this kid. He's a killer for sure. (yes...that is an ear bud in his ear...different generation of hunter!)
